The employee took quick action and brought the cub to the vet to ensure that the cub was unharmed, then recorded the cry to play outside in order to alert the mom.

We recorded the cry of the baby and played it near the tree to get the mom’s attention, we waited patiently until the mom came down for the baby. 

 After a long while, the mother responded and came halfway down the tree to reunite with her baby. She then gave the employee a long (perhaps appreciative) look before slowly making her back up to her canopy.

Like one heroic dog, who saved the life of her owner after fighting off an attacking mountain lion.

Erin Wilson, from Trinity County, California, is the loving owner of a 2-and-a-half-year-old Belgian Malinois named Eva. 

Recently, the two were on a relaxing walk by the river, but the peaceful day turned into a life-threatening ordeal. 

According to the Sacramento Bee, a mountain lion lunged at Erin, growling and scratching through her jacket. With no one else around, Erin called on Eva for help, and the loyal dog came to her rescue.

Eva bravely confronted the mountain lion: Erin says she “hit that cat really hard” and distracted the big cat from Erin. But the dog was outmatched, and the mountain lion “latched on to her skull,” causing great pain. 

Erin soon returned the favor, fighting against the big cat with sticks and rocks and enlisting the help of a nearby motorist, who ended the attack by spraying the wild animal with pepper spray. While the mountain lion finally let Eva out of its grasp, the dog had serious wounds on her skull. 

“She had a couple of puncture wounds in her face,” Erin told the Sacramento Bee. “And she just had a lot of blood coming out of her mouth.”

Eva was rushed to the hospital, and while things seemed touch and go, the heroic dog pulled through. Erin started a GoFundMe to help pay for Eva’s medical bills, and says her savior is now recovering, reporting that vets are “optimistic.” 

“She is still not out of the woods, she is heavily sedated until we can be sure the pressure in her head is reduced,” she wrote. “She has 2 fractures to her skull, a puncture into the sinus cavity and severe swelling around her left eye, which is impeding her vision.”

While Eva suffered some bad injuries in the process, but she saved her owner’s life. “I think it’s safe to assume that dog probably saved her life,” Capt. 

Patrick Foy of the Department of Fish and Wildlife told Sacramento Bee. “My dog is my hero and I owe her my life,” Erin wrote on GoFundMe. You’re a hero, Eva! Thank you for saving your owner’s life by bravely facing down this mountain lion! It’s a reminder how protective and loyal dogs can be.

They explained that unfortunately, she lost her mother after lions attacked her. Through their official Facebook account they usually update the conditions of the animals they care for, Aime (shelter representative) stated: “We have no further updates at this time other than a list of experienced caretakers who continue to look after her, which includes providing food for milk, ensuring she has a warm stable to sleep in at night and a protective ‘mother’ presence during the day,” the caretaker said. 

However, she also ventured to explain a little something that caught the eye of Diria’s precious images: the caregivers’ clothing. “Baby zebras need to be able to recognize their mother from birth to survive. To know her mother’s stripes, a zebra mother often separates herself and her baby from the herd so that the baby can recognize and follow her coat, smell and call. Once the baby can identify its mother, the duo will return to the herd,” said Amie, a representative of the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust. “In the wild, calves are raised only by their mother, but in our Reintegration Unit, it’s not practical for a single person to raise one if they go on annual vacation. 

Therefore, to avoid this fragile impression of the newborn on a person, our Guardians wear a specially made striped coat so that Diria will recognize them as her ‘mother’, regardless of who is wearing it. A team of caregivers can provide Diria with the 24/7 specialized care she needs to give her the best chance of survival,” Amie continued. The special clothing helps gain confidence and makes it easier for the animal to adapt, a gesture that is simply beautiful and speaks volumes about the care they take of the species here.

For a man by the name of Allen Pursley, however, what was above his head fell right at his feet. He found a baby squirrel that had fallen out of a nearby tree and the squirrel was so young, his eyes hadn’t even opened. 

Allen knew that he had to do something to help this poor baby. Fortunately for the squirrel, Allen was able to take the squirrel to the vet clinic. 

After checking out the baby squirrel, he was released back to Allen until he could be released into the wild again. Pursley didn’t plan on keeping the squirrel but he formed such a tight bond with him, it was amazing. 

He works from home so he was able to hand feed the squirrel milk and care for him until he started to grow. When he opened his eyes, he saw Allen before he saw anyone else. A beautiful friendship was blossoming. He ended up spending so much time with the squirrel that a space was converted in the closet for him. The squirrel was named Rocky but the nickname ‘Bad Squirrel’ seemed to be used more frequently. Training Rocky was difficult as he wanted to climb the drapes and jump on the countertops. 

Rocky also had a number of other nicknames, including Sweet Squirrel, Squiggidy-Boo and Squirellito. The time came for Rocky to be released back in the wild but he was so tame at this point, he likely would not survive. It seems as if they had found best friends for life. Rocky lives with Allen in their house with a couple of dogs and a cat but they are a little too rough for Rocky. Nobody else can handle him other than Allen. Since they first met, two years have gone by and now Rocky is fully grown. The bond that they have between them has grown stronger. 

An outside home is now being created but Rocky still wants to stay by Pursley’s side at all times. Rocky has his own Instagram page!
